LOOK AT ME

by Samantha - Scorpio

Don’t judge me by my appearance
I’m not all that I seem
I stand strong-
Holding back the tears
Hiding the pain
I smile-
To hide my problems
To make you think that everything’s ok
I laugh-
To prevent the tears from showing
To make me feel alive
On the inside, I try to hide in the shelter of a dark corner
Screaming to let out all my fears
Screaming to anyone who will listen
I escape the pain by wearing a mask
A mask that disguises deformities
A mask that makes the outside beautiful
When on the inside… I’m dying…
